Being British.
One of the British national daily newspapers is asking readers "what it means to be British" Some of the emails are hilarious but this is one from a chap in Switzerland...
"Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, and then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign."
About right

The last two accidents I was involved in were the fault of a MALE driver. 
Frankly I think being British has changed completely from when I was younger.I think the main one is that we are much less polite than we used to be.I would never have given an adult any cheek as a kid but today you get a mouthful if you look at them if they are behaving poorly.

Oh so sitting quietly minding the traffic on the entrance to a roundabout while some jerk rams the back of my car is MY fault just because I'm female.  .
